Logan County court accepts low bridge bid contingent on state bridge funding
Summary
After opening four bids for a bridge on Homer Insco Road, the court voted to accept Scott Murphy's low bid contingent on receipt of the state '80.20' bridge funds. The award will be contingent on the county receiving the anticipated state bridge money.
Logan County Fiscal Court opened four bids for the construction of a bridge on Homer Insco Road and discussed significant scope differences among offers before voting to accept the low bid, contingent on state bridge funding.
Officials reviewed bid submissions that ranged from roughly $77,000 to more than $600,000, noting some bidders proposed removal and full replacement while others proposed building on top of existing structure. After discussion about scope and state funding contingencies, a commissioner moved to accept Scott Murphy’s bid for $77,826 contingent on receiving the county’s anticipated '80.20' bridge funding from the state; the motion was seconded and approved by roll call.
Why it matters: Awarding the contract will allow bridge work to move forward, but construction is contingent on state reimbursement or bridge-specific funds. Commissioners emphasized the bid differences reflected distinct approaches to whether the old bridge is removed or incorporated.
What happens next: The accepted bid will be finalized only if the county receives the state bridge funds; staff were instructed to route bid documents to the county clerk for recordkeeping and to notify the successful bidder of the contingency.
